Municipalities

Under the MHSW Program, municipalities can enter into a voluntary agreement  with Stewardship Ontario that provides for the transportation, processing and management of the MHSW materials that they collect.  

MHSW Reimbursement & Reporting Requirements 

Stewardship Ontario will reimburse municipalities for services that contribute to the 3Rs such as programs that lead to the reuse of materials. As well, municipalities will be reimbursed for agreed-upon promotion and education activities.
 
Please note that reimbursement is contingent upon reporting information on MHSW collection activities on a quarterly basis to WDO's MHSW Reporting System.  

IC&I Generators

As well as diverting hazardous and special wastes from residents, the MHSW program also targets small quantities of MHSW from the industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I) sector. It is important to note that partipcation in the program is restricted to those companies that do not meet the generator registration requirements of Regulation 347.
Stewardship Ontario is working with the Ministry of the Environment to best determine the most practical approach in managing small quantity waste from IC&I businesses.
